SaaS companies: Want to sell to the U.S. federal government or DoD in 2025?
You need more than a secure product. You need a fast, affordable, and trusted path to FedRAMP.
The federal landscape is evolving rapidly:
Executive Order 14179 is reshaping how agencies buy and govern AI.
FedRAMP 20X is adding automation, continuous monitoring, and uncertainty.
NIST 800-53 Rev 5 is now the minimum expected baseline for conducting business with the U.S. federal government. If you’re not already aligned to NIST 800-53 Rev 5, you won’t be competitive or even eligible for many federal opportunities.
